having the debate is good for romney. it shows the strength of the ryan ticket. the vice-presidential nominee, his agenda being the center of the obama campaign. many people in the media have a simple-minded view of seniors, that they are narrow minded and care about keeping every benefit they can, the maximum level, but they don't care about their kids off or grandchildren. that's not the way people 65 and older are. they want to make sure benefits are there. but ryan drops it. if you say the word medicare, seniors will throw up their arms in panic, not true. as far as the youth aspect, there are not as many individuals in the. -- in the electorate 18-35. the electric president obama won 18-30 by 2-1. obama won by seven points. six of those seven came from people aged 18 to 30. if romney-ryan can minimize president obama's edge among young voters, it can make a big difference. those are the most changeable voters. you voted fewer times for one party or another, are less said in your political views, young people being more changeable. a lot of swing voters 58 or

what do you make of this debate between hariri and mitt romney? guest: harry reid is not telling the truth, and the senate majority leader should have some minimal respect for the truth. romney offers began releasing financial documents when he ran for governor in 2002. he has released documents for a 10-year period and a great deal of information is available. nothing he is going to do is go to satisfy president clinton or axelrod or the democrats. if you had 8.3% unemployment as president, you would want any issue other than the economy. romney has to do what he's doing and relax, to focus on issues like welfare, and let the democrats talk about whatever they what. host: we are still waiting for a vice presidential announcement from mitt romney. who should be the next vice president? guest: it is romneycare's joyce. it is a very personal choice. i think there are four criteria. the four that are practical are can a person be president, because it is not a ceremonial job. can the person help win the election? can the personnel in the senate, whic
